Hello!

Without knowing all of the specifics of how you want to target and customize the effect using your unique Squarespace blocks/objects you may need to adjust some of the following code to fit your needs:

 #block-YOUR_BLOCK_ID {
  .sqs-block-content {
  color: #fff;
  width: 100;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 3vw;
  background: slateblue;
  position: relative;
  }
    .sqs-block-content::before {
      content: "";
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  border: 2px solid white;
  top: -12px;
  left: -12px;
    }
  }

If you do not use a Block ID, all elements on the page will adopt the effect and it'll look rather... interesting.

Anyways --

Hope this helps, Happy Web-Building!
